Claire Dunstan

Are you feeling overwhelmed or struggling with life events, having difficulties with people around you or maybe you are struggling to regulate your feelings? Give me a call so we can work out together how I can help.

I work with people just like you to explore and support you to find your solutions to find your challenges. I specialise in helping people to build self-esteem, find new, healthy ways to approach your relationships. I use a wide variety of interventions where I utilise our relationship to support you in working out the changes you are seeking.

I offer warmth, compassion, and a welcoming space, both online and in Mansfield (NG18) , where you can talk and explore your thoughts, worries, feelings, stresses and issues.

I have particular interest in the awareness of our behaviour patterns and why we feel compelled to repeat these patterns of a lifetime.  My work has given me a deeper understanding and respect for  gender identity and working with the LGBTQ+ community.

I am a  Masters trained  clinical Integrative psychotherapist, who trained  at the Sherwood Institute in Nottingham. I am UKCP accredited member and a registered member of BACP.  

 I have over 6 years of experience in short and long term therapy working specifically with mental health within the charitable organisation MIND. My career in secondary teaching initially led me into psychotherapy training, recognising the struggles we all have carry.

I know contacting a therapist can feel daunting, but I'm a friendly, empathetic and down to earth person who knows life can be tough. I believe that relationship between you and I is important. I invite you to contact me by phone or email so you have the opportunity to discuss what it is you are seeking from therapy or ask any questions you might have. 

I offer a free brief telephone or face-to-face discussion to see how I can help, what you would like to get out of therapy, and for us to make arrangements for our first session.  I will try to find a time that works for us both.  During our first session we will explore more in-depth your aims of therapy as I get to know you.

I am currently offering both face-to-face and digitally via Zoom.
